Here's your auto-bidsAmerica East: Hartford (!)Colonial: Delaware (!)ECAC: DenverIvy League: CornellMAAC: SienaPatriot League: BucknellSyracuse, Johns Hopkins, Notre Dame, and the ACC are locks to get in, so the fun and games will be for the last 3 spots in the tournament Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I did catch the end of the AE final (Hartford scored at the last second to win at Stony Brook) and I assume that whoever finished as the regular season champ in the CAA (Hofstra) is getting in.That leaves, in my mind, Stony Brook and Drexel as the other at-large bids.Now, the games...-(16)Siena at (1)Syracuse-(9)Maryland at (8)North Carolina-(13)Penn at (4)Notre Dame-(12)Delaware at (5)Duke-(15)Hartford at (2)Cornell-(10)Bucknell at (7)Virginia-(14)Hofstra at (3)Johns Hopkins-(11)Villanova at (6)Denver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvko Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Why did we draw Hofstra? I think they're pretty decent. Much rather play Villanova. Regardless, I'll be there rootin' on the Jays.1. SyracuseSiena8.

RyanMcD29 Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 I will, and the Blue Jays will look ridiculous in their new lids (shameless promotion for the uniform thread). And no, it's not by the same people that brought you SUBLIMATED TIGER STRIPES for a freakin' Ivy League school with 6 national titles (Warrior). It's by Cascade, and, well, you have to see it to believe it. Not something you do for a freakin' medical and law school with 9 national titles.Speaking of those Princeton Tigers, a good friend of mine's on the women's team there and they're playing James Madison tomorrow. Considering the Orange didn't make that tournament I'll be rooting for them. Here's the bracket for the Maryland and Northwestern show http://www.ncaa.com/brackets/lacrosse-women/d1/2011Oh, and for S's and G's, my bracket-If Hopkins wasn't facing Hofstra, I'd have them in the Final Four. The Pride have been very tricky for the Blue Jays to handle in prior years, though, so I'm giving them the upset-I think Tierney can lead Denver to the Final Four this year with the team he's got and his coaching experience-Notre Dame fading down the stretch is why Duke's moving on in their rematch from February-I have no idea who would win a Cornell-Syracuse matchup with a healthy Syracuse defense and Rob Pannell being Rob Pannell (a Beast with a capital B ) Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanMcD29 Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Alright, game one's in the books. Hopkins takes my upset prediction and tells me to shove it where the sun don't shine and pretty much dominates Hofstra in the second half. To make me less unhappy about every Hopkins win, here's Mordecai from Regular ShowThe Notre Dame-UPenn Stall-Ball fest is on ESPNU now Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Yeah... 4-4 at the half between Hofstra and JHU and JHU unloads a major league keg of Whooped Yo Ass upon the Pride in the 2nd half.. Thank god I was napping. Penn-ND has been meh at best. Notre Dame is the favorite here, but I'm not so sure as to why Penn is in over, say, NEC champ Quinnipiac?Plenty of more action tonight and tomorrow... Here's to a Siena upset of the Orange!

RyanMcD29 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Alrighty, Day One's in the books. Hopkins, Notre Dame, and Cornell move on easily. Duke needed to hold off Delaware at the end in a pretty wild ending. Hopefully tomorrow's games are more like that one... well except for Syracuse-Siena that is Also in the Maryland/Northwestern Invitational, only one upset out of the six games today, and that would be Princeton over James Madison.

RyanMcD29 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 UNC uses a Britney Spears song as a goal song. I hope no NHL teams are getting ideas from this 7-4 Maryland right now early in the 3rd Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanMcD29 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Geez, UNC-Maryland heading in looked like the most exciting game of the first round. Turns out to be like the restOh well, no more of hearing this at least http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DVPdzXLJ94Virginia-Bucknell in a weather delay right now. That could be a possible upset the way UVA's ended the season and how Bucknell's flown under the radar Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Well, Virginia-Bucknell and Denver-Villanova ended up being some really good games. Bucknell really could've pulled off the upset had they followed the golden rule of late game leads: Stall the ball and don't shoot. UVA came back and won it to overtime, so the upset was prevented. Syracuse also won in a little bit of a nervous game until the end of the 3rd quarter on.Next weekend's matchups2. Cornell vs. 7. Virginia3. Johns Hopkins vs. 6. Denver1. Syracuse vs. Maryland4. Notre Dame vs. 5. DukeIf you're looking for parity, your best hope is Bill Tierney and the Denver Pioneers. Either way, though, all 4 matchups ought to be good ones.

bigbean24 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Yes! I predicted the first round right. Heres my second round...Cornell over VirginiaDenver over Johns HopkinsSyracuse over Maryland Norte Dame over Duke- This sould be a good one.
